MICHAEL WALLNER | studio 132
I create art inspired by the city, espeically the patterns, colours and shapes seen in the urban landscape.
My work is created by digitally manipulating and colouring my own photographs and printing them on unusual materials including aluminium, reclaimed wood, copper, and vintage windows. I've also created pieces with magnets, neon and even a real flowing river.
My latest collection celebrates the beauty of the city through the shapes and colours that define its character. London, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Hong Kong, Paris, Singapore, Miami, and Dubai all feature in my portfolio.
I am constantly on the lookout for the most unusual views and angles for my work. Much of my art is created from aerial photographs, taken while hanging out of helicopters with the doors off.
In 2021, together with five fellow artists I opened ARRTI Gallery, converting an empty shop into a sparkling new gallery in a London shopping Centre. The gallery attracted more 18,000 people in 9 months.
Recent exhibitions include The Affordable Art Fair in London, The Other Art Fair in London, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago, a pop-up in Notting Hill, Wimbledon Art Fair, and Art For Youth – a charity exhibition raising money for UK Youth.
